A Tourist Visa is a short-term visa that allows foreign nationals to enter a country for leisure, sightseeing, visiting family or friends, or short-term non-work purposes (like attending cultural events or medical treatment). It does not permit employment or long-term stay. A Tourist Visa (also known as a visitor visa) gives legal entry to a country for a limited time, typically 15 to 180 days, depending on the country's rules and the applicant’s nationality.
